Now you have to save the picture as a jpeg so it will be small enough to attach.Save it to your desktop or someplace you can find it.

Now instead of click Reply you have to click on Use Full EditorAfter typing your reply then under the window where you type you will see Attach File. Right above that is the Browse buttonClick that and then click on your picture. Then click Attach fileScroll down and click Post or Reply which ever it is.

OK since there is only one stick then taking it out and trying to boot the system is useless because all you will get is the memory error beep code. You can try to test the memory by doing the following.

10. Once the CD is created, boot from it, and memtest will automatically start to run. You may have to change the boot sequence in your BIOS to make it work right.

To change Boot Sequence in your BIOS

Reboot the system and at the first post screen (where it is counting up memory) start tapping the DEL buttonThis will enter you into the Bios\Cmos area.Find the Advanced area and click EnterLook for Boot Sequence or Boot Options and highlight that click EnterNow highlight the first drive and follow the directions on the bottom of the screen on how to modify it and change it to CDrom.Change the second drive to the C or Main DriveOnce that is done then click F10 to Save and Exit You will prompted to enter Y to verify Save and Exit. Click Y and the system will now reboot with the new settings.

The running program will look something like this depending on the size and number of ram modules installed:

It's recommended to run 5-6 passes. Each pass contains very same 8 tests.

This will show the progress of the test. It can take a while. Be patient, or leave it running overnight.

The following image is the test results area:

The most important item here is the “errors” line. If you see ANY errors, even one, most likely, you have bad RAM.

If there is ONLY one stick you must have an empty slot as that computer has two ram slots, you will see the clips of the empty slot, either side of the exisitng stick.
On a laptop one stick of ram is always underneath the other stick
However it is quite possible as I said on my post regarding this when the ram issue was raised, that you do ONLY have the one stick.
